How To Remove VM from Visual Studio 2019 Community

I have googled how to remove & have tried everything found; especially at:  https://www.visualmicro.com/page/How-to-uninstall-the-arduino-addin-for-visual-s...;

devenv.exe /resetaddin Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper fails with the following error:

Code
Select All
Invalid Command Line. Unknown Switch : resetaddin.

Use:
devenv  [solutionfile | projectfile | folder | anyfile.ext]  [switches]

The first argument for devenv is usually a solution file, project file or a folder.
You can also use any other file as the first argument if you want to have the
file open automatically in an editor. When you enter a project file, the IDE
looks for an .sln file with the same base name as the project file in the
parent directory for the project file. If no such .sln file exists, then the
IDE looks for a single .sln file that references the project. If no such single
.sln file exists, then the IDE creates an unsaved solution with a default .sln
file name that has the same base name as the project file.

Command line builds:
devenv solutionfile.sln /build [ solutionconfig ] [ /project projectnameorfile [ /projectconfig name ] ]
Available command line switches:

/Build	Builds the solution or project with the specified solution
	configuration. For example "Debug". If multiple platforms
	are possible, the configuration name must be enclosed in quotes
	and contain platform name. For example: "Debug|Win32".
/Clean	Deletes build outputs.
/Command	Starts the IDE and executes the command.
/Deploy	Builds and then deploys the specified build configuration.
/DoNotLoadProjects	Opens the specified solution without loading any projects.
/Edit	Opens the specified files in a running instance of this
	application. If there are no running instances, it will
	start a new instance with a simplified window layout.
/LCID	Sets the default language in the IDE for the UI.
/Log	Logs IDE activity to the specified file for troubleshooting.
/NoVSIP	Disables the VSIP developer's license key for VSIP testing.
/Out	Appends the build log to a specified file.
/Project	Specifies the project to build, clean, or deploy.
	Must be used with /Build, /Rebuild, /Clean, or /Deploy.
/ProjectConfig	Overrides the project configuration specified in the solution
	configuration. For example "Debug". If multiple platforms are
	possible, the configuration name must be enclosed in quotes
	and contain platform name. For example: "Debug|Win32".
	Must be used with /Project.
/Rebuild	Cleans and then builds the solution or project with the
	specified configuration.
/ResetSettings	Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to
	the specified VSSettings file.
/ResetSkipPkgs	Clears all SkipLoading tags added to VSPackages.
/Run	Compiles and runs the specified solution.
/RunExit	Compiles and runs the specified solution then closes the IDE.
/SafeMode	Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.
/Upgrade	Upgrades the project or the solution and all projects in it.
	A backup of these files will be created as appropriate. Please
	see Help on 'Visual Studio Conversion Wizard' for more
	information on the backup process.

Product-specific switches:

/debugexe	Open the specified executable to be debugged. The remainder of
	the command line is passed to this executable as its arguments.
/diff	Compares two files.  Takes four parameters:
	SourceFile, TargetFile, SourceDisplayName(optional),
	TargetDisplayName(optional)
Join collaboration session
/sqldbaction    Start SQL Server Data Tools and perform the action specified in the argument string.
/TfsLink	Opens Team Explorer and launches a viewer for the
	provided artifact URI if one is registered.
/useenv	Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables
	instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.

To attach the debugger from the command line, use:
	VsJITDebugger.exe -p <pid>


Nothing has worked so far. Control panel -> programs & features does not show any reference to VM. Revo Uninstaller does not find any entry to uninstall.

I have also deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visual Micro but VM still persists.

I look forward to a solution for completely uninstalling VM - hopefully without having to totally uninstall Visual Studio 2019 Community.

The same way that all VS extensions are uninstalled.

To remove an extension in VS2019:-
     Click Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > Select the item > Disable > Uninstall

Then close VS and the extension installer will appear after a second or two. It will automatically remove the extension.
